Within the Radboudumc Center of Expertise for Hereditary Hearing Impairment, specialized (genetic) diagnostics are performed for various forms of hearing impairment. By finding out the cause of hearing impairment, parents of children, the patients themselves and family members can be better informed about:
- the prognosis of the hearing loss,
- whether the hearing loss may be part of a syndrome,
- the likelihood of children with hearing loss,
- the best-fit rehabilitation of the hearing loss.
Besides being an expertise center for diagnosis of (hereditary) hearing impairment, the Radboudumc Expertise Center Hearing & Genes is also a recognized expertise center for Usher syndrome, an inherited form of deafblindness.
